Rebirth by Emcee Millz Lyrics
[Intro]
You gonn hate me after this one
That's cool
[Verse: Inner Conscience]
No this ain't what you expected
You wanted a helping hand to come and grab you out of the hole you dug yourself in
Borderline selfish!
Walking round helpless
Yeah, I'm really coming for your neck sis
You need a new perspective
Not a new Lexus
Not a new friend, new man, new event
It's glaringly apparent to me that apparently
You planted seeds of all your insecurities
And then you watered it
Look at where we started at
How could you forget and overlook all your accomplishments?
When you start believing that you wasn't gonna make it?
Lying to yourself, you know you got embedded greatness
Searching for validation in places you'll never find it
These affirmations I'm stating serve as reminders
That same peace that you picking yourself apart to find
It resides in a part of your mind
So take your time
Look inside, yeah
Look inside, yeah
[Bridge]
Look inside, look inside
Look inside, look inside
Tell me what you find
Look inside, look inside
Look inside, look inside
[Verse: Emcee Millz]
Took a step out the cocoon that's closing in, I'm claustrophobic
My view was out of focus, distorted, kaleidoscoping
The wounds I've gained are gaping open
I pay for aid, but can't afford the love like US Open
I'm joking
I think my laughter be a trauma response
In my subconscious, inner conflict tell me pass the baton
I run from problems, jumping fences, feel defenseless. En garde!
For real, on God, I never knew that life would treat me this hard
But this my rebirth
I'm breaking free from former bondage
Every thought that tried to take me in captivity is tarnished
The devil wear Prada
My demons dress up like debutantes
Can't haunt me no longer
I'm coming back stronger
Cause this my rebirth
A quick transition into freedom
I'm leaving the old me behind, this a new season
I'm leaping into the palms of prosperity
Into arms of who cherish me
Replenishing the inner me that was perishing
A rebirth
A total transformation
The self doubt has been fading
These are different conversations I'm making
A different person I'm facing
Dichotomy inside of me was always splitting the blame
Man, time to take responsibility for parts that I'm playing
In this cyclical process
I had to die to self to make some progress
I've found that
It ain't easy, but it's worth it
This rebirth has made me a whole new person
Yeah, ha ha
This rebirth has made me a whole new person
[Spoken Word]
This cocoon, that I am encased in has been amazing
But my changes are causing me to break free
Into the unknown, I go where my heart will lead
My soul is burning with a yearning for peace
My peace, is a simple song
It is the breath of wind intertwined with the fluttering of wings
I sing, in the key of life
But my eyes have caught arrows
Bruising this sparrow with sorrow
Still though, I look forward to tomorrow
A chance at life anew
Assuredly, rebirthing me
Into...
[Outro]
My dream? Haha!
Yo, my dream is this
Like my dream has always been to make music
My dream is making music, and making it to where people can actually apply it to their lives
People can actually feel like it makes a difference
My dream is to inspire other people with my music and my story
And hopefully, it gets them out of the dark place that they're in
That's my dream
You gonn hate me after this one
That's cool
[Verse: Inner Conscience]
